Problems solved by technology

However, the MMI has to be adjusted to the small size of the portable autonomous device.
The disadvantages of using touch screens are their high price and limited transparency which reduces the picture quality, particularly of modern, high resolution LCD displays.
However, the known methods have several limitations as they rely on certain criteria to track the scene and they may not be reliable, scalable and robust.
Accordingly, navigation and display is limited.
Furthermore, the functionality achieved is limited making it difficult to control complex operations such as image creation and editing on a handheld device.
Thus, these limitations prevent from the processor-based devices to perform certain functions and applications using the displacement detection process.

Abstract

An autonomous handheld device comprises a drawing module having drawing capabilities for electronically editing a drawing and a motion sensing feature for sensing self-motion. The autonomous handheld device is configured to associate the motion sensing feature with the drawing capability thereby to allow sensed motion of the motion sensing feature to modify the electronic editing.

Description

RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001] The present application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 60 / 709,794, filed on Aug. 22, 2005, the contents of which are hereby incorporated in its entirety.FIELD AND BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] The present invention relates to a method and device for allowing users to input directional instructions to a drawing tool application of a portable autonomous device and, more particularly but not exclusively, to a method and device for allowing users to input directional instructions to such an application of a portable autonomous device with limited computational abilities, using movement and gesture detection which is based on image processing. [0003] The rapid miniaturization of complex electronic circuits and the emergence of high-resolution displays have vastly increased the number and variety of portable processor-based devices. Such devices include handheld computers, mobile telephones, pagers and other portable communic...
